A guyed lattice tower, also known as a guyed tower or guyed mast, is a tall structure fixed to the ground using multiple high-strength steel cables (guy wires). The tower body is typically made of steel pipes, trusses, or lattice structures to achieve lightweight design and high bending resistance. The guy wires are symmetrically distributed at specific angles, forming a stable mechanical system with the tower body, significantly enhancing the tower's resistance to wind, seismic forces, and lateral loads.
Tower Body: Usually constructed with steel pipes, trusses, or lattice frameworks, designed for lightweight construction and high bending resistance.
Guy Wires: Made of galvanized steel cables or synthetic fiber cables (such as aramid), arranged in groups and anchored to the ground at intervals of 120° or 90°.
Anchoring System: Includes concrete foundations, ground anchor piles, or gravity anchor blocks to ensure the stability of the guy wire tension.
The guy wires counteract the bending moments caused by the height and loads (such as antennas and wind) on the tower by pre-tensioning, allowing the tower to primarily bear axial pressure rather than bending stress. This approach significantly reduces material usage.
Cost-Effective: For the same height, the material cost of a guyed lattice tower is only about one-third to one-half of that of a self-supporting tower.
Lightweight: Ideal for soft soil foundations or temporary structures, such as emergency communication systems in disaster scenarios.
Scalability: Height can be increased by adding more layers of guy wires.
Telecommunication: Widely used in broadcast television transmission towers (such as AM/FM radio masts), microwave relay towers, 5G base stations, and more.
Energy Sector: Initially used for supporting wind turbine towers, meteorological observation towers (wind measurement towers), etc.
Special Applications: Employed in scientific experiments (such as atmospheric research), temporary high-altitude work platforms, and other specialized needs.
The guyed lattice tower achieves an optimized use of materials and maintenance costs while maintaining structural stability. It is especially suited for the communication and energy sectors due to these characteristics.
The Junjiang guyed lattice tower is widely used in high-voltage transmission lines, broadcast communication, and other applications requiring tall structures. Its design not only emphasizes strength and durability but also considers the convenience of construction and maintenance, offering both high economic and practical value.
